The location, the host, the home cooked meals and most importantly the vibe. My children and I felt so well rested from our long travels. And Ginsen was so helpful with all the travel tips and arranging taxis for me. I am so happy I chose to stay here.

Would recommend this Homestay and munroe island to everyone visiting Kerala! Vijeesh made our time super fun even though we only stayed one night. Do not miss the sunset kayak trip and the sunrise boat trip, such a highlight of our Kerala trip. Munroe island is beautiful.

The staff was very helping, both when we arrived Munroe Island late at night, but also when we wanted to go for activities during the day. They were available on the phone throughout the whole day, and answered all the questions we had. We even got to borrow their scooter, to discover other villages nearby! The power went out during the day, and they changed our rooms to a new one with power, without us even asking. Very good service, and friendly people:)

Our stay at Mundro Garden Homestay was amazing. Deepa and her family were so welcoming and kind. We were always greeted with a smile and a positive attitude. The room was very comfortable and clean and was located in a nice quiet, private corner of the garden. The table and chairs outside offered a great space to relax and eat meals. The homestay offers bicycle rental at a very reasonable 200 rupees per day. The food prepared every day was amazing! Everything we ate was delicious, and we enjoyed trying all of the local Keralan dishes that Deepa and her family made. You must also take the boat tour, it really showcases the beauty of the island. Overall, we absolutely love this homestay and will definitely return if we come back to Kerala!

We had the most wonderful stay at Kailasam Homestay, hosted by the lovely family of Kala, Akhil, Roshni, and their adorable son Aayansh. From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. The location is perfect—peaceful, scenic, and truly allows you to unwind. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and well-maintained. But what made our stay truly special was the warmth and hospitality of our hosts. Kala's cooking was exceptional—every meal was a delight, full of authentic Kerala flavors. Beyond just providing a great stay, they went above and beyond for us. When I had a minor flu, they kindly took me to the hospital, which I truly appreciated. They also arranged all our activities seamlessly and ensured our pick-up and drop-off from the nearest station were taken care of. All in all, this was the best time we had in Kerala, and we can't recommend this homestay enough. If you're looking for a place that offers comfort, great food, and amazing hosts, this is the one! We’ll definitely be back!!

I had such a lovely time at the homestay! The accommodation itself is of a high standard. The provided food was all incredible ! (Lunch portions are massive) I was able to do a sunrise boat trip, was shown around the island and also did kayaking on Munroe Island. As other reviews mention it is literally an island that is only reachable by boat so just be mindful of any amenities you may need to buy beforehand. You can always ask to be taken to Munroe Island otherwise. The host is very hospitable and honestly it was so nice to have downtime.

It's an island home stay, if you are looking for a place away from the city rush then this is the place for you. The host is helpful & friendly. He treats you like family & takes care of everything, you will be transported in a boat from the nearest Railway Station or road. Early morning boat ride & sunset on shore are the highlights of this place.
